Just had a verizon access vz card sent to my husband and I pretty much screamed at him because he got sold the biggest load of crap by a Verizon rep on the planet. I had him call the next day to call him out on the fact that no way would I stay in the 5 gig limit. This rep still tried to b.s. him and say I would have to download all day and night all month and there is now way possible I would reach that limit. After day 3 I am almost a quarter of the way there. He also claimed I would be lightning speed, its worse than dial up 90 percent of the time. He still insisted I should be great if I had good cell coverage in home. I have all bars and no connectivity and errors galore but fast sometimes with no bars showing. And it cuts off all the time, what liars and con artists these people are. The limit is the wost, unrealistic if you plan on using itunes regularly or other downloads even on occasion. What a scam, will be sending this joke back tomorrow.

I forgot to mention the fact that Sprint also said, 300mb limit per month if I have to roam to get signal.

I was called by sprint on aug. 21 2008. They notified me of the new changes. They said I used 30 gigs last month. They said I had till sept. 25 2008. To make up my mind if i was staying or could conform to the new 5 gig rule. Dont know what to do now! I guess they are all switching to this? I am a truck driver, the fuel price is high enough. I use my computer all day for map programs and gps. I watch an online movie almost everynight. I guess I will be getting a sat. dish for my truck and a dashboard gps. All of these companies are crazy. I would rather do without the net all together than to be forced or limited to 5 gigs. A single movie down load is 700 to 800 mb. Come on give me a break. I wish all of u good luck with this also.

Cricket really charges over the limit fees!!! I was about to sign up with them. How is that possible when EVERYTHING says UNLIMITED!?!?!? Who has 100% unlimited broadband besides Sprint. I am a current customer and they suck bigtime!

I just got the Cricket broadband wireless thing and I’m starting to realize, with the amount of surfing and downloading I do on the internet…. I’m definitely going to exceed this 5GB limit fast! That sucks that Cricket advertised “unlimited internet” and they don’t tell you the real story up front and you have to later find out for yourself! Damnit! They should be taken to court for false advertising!

I’ve been burning through 250mb day stream stock data. I’m not sure what value my wireless card is providing since I don’t have the freedom to use it the way I intended. What resolution have people been able to obtain when going over? There is no way I can pay a $1700 bill. I’m considering canceling.

Just switched from Verizon’s National Access to their Broadband access and the bill for my first month of the new service is over $1700. WTF? I’m scared to even turn the damn computer on now!

wow. I think the cap is just a complete scam. I was thinking about getting the card because someone told me it was unlimitted. Forget that. There is no way that I am going to monitor my usage. Bad business move on their part.

hahaha… all the Sprint-apologists are going to be eating crow when their company announces their new 5GB usage limits in the coming weeks.

Just got my Verizon Bill. I was told by the sales rep that the $59 plan was unlimited. Bill for April $1740.00. Have been to the store and spoken to several service reps. I am told that the bill is ligit and they cannot help me. Furthur more my log says I have not even hit 5 Gigs since I purchased the card in March. The reps on the phone don’t even know the plans, how do they expect the customers to know what’s going on? My company will switch to another service if not resolved ASAP.
Not Happy!!!
